As Donald Trump dominates the GOP nomination race and some of his inflammatory comments find favor with the party faithful, CBS News measured how the public feels about his “poisoning the blood” language. A striking number of voters agree with this description of immigrants who enter the U.S. illegally, and among Republicans, associating the remarks with Trump himself makes them even likelier to agree.
Note that this question (#13) was only asking “likely Republican primary voters.”
To me, the most disturbing stat was #19, the 50-50 split among all likely voters between valuing “a strong economy” versus “a functioning democracy.”
Given that kind of false dichotomy, i wouldn’t have been surprised at /any/ result
